    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Has the same typing style, and a few similar animals as another user here.

Shares the same photobucket account as this person here, banned last year for creating another username with fake name to post under.

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/member.php?u=71264

Photobucket account used for both people's recent pictures is the SAME.

Just a beware. It seems odd that a legitimate person would create fake accounts to run ads under.
 
Why is my profile attached with a link of someone else. I just joined this site in the hopes to buy good quality snakes and start breeding becuase its something ive wanted to do since i bought my first corn snake off Craigslist 8 years ago and i post hoping to fine a low quality female pastel and see this post directed towards me
 
hmm maybe because you have matching IP and reg IPs with another account (Elizabeth Minton) who already was caught creating false account under another name...
 
Can we get a mod to reinstate "Maria's" ads? It seems odd that someone with nothing to hide would run and delete ads once this was posted.

More interesting that the above linked username has ripped someone off recently and Maria is a new username.

Hmm ...

Here you go from her first post on this site.

There is absolutely no doubt with other facts that this is Elizabeth Minton.

Oh, I guess I should post the one from Elizabeth's account to so nobody has any doubts.

Just for the record, here's an email conversation that I had with this person:

****ing egotistical *****bags. I had high hopes i might fit in on this site but HA i was told you and your account holders where rude and cruel and i didnt listen. This is how you treat a new member and brand new ball python owner and future breeder.

Well you wont hear of anyone being refered by me. if anything ill deter them and tell them what ****ty customer and account holder service you and your members have.

Seriously disapointed at how my membership was treated.

Well, Ms Minton, I guess the profane language you used in this email is
pretty much in support of the premise that we don't want the likes of
you on my site. And I'm sure you'll greatly influence others with your
own opinions.

Thank you for that.

As I said, "yeah, right...."

I suppose it's just a coincidence that your IP addresses matches with an account of Elizabeth Minton's on my site and you also have access to a PhotoBucket account for "Eminton1".

AMAZING coincidences, wouldn't you say?

So it sounds like we agree on something, anyway. You don't want to be on my site, and I don't want you there neither. Sounds like a plan to me. Just stick to the program, please, and stay off of my site.

Please note the above mentioned threat. Duly noted, and she will be the FIRST person I will notify the FBI about if this site undergoes any sort of cyber attack.

Not that I am seriously concerned about her cyber abilities, mind you... :rolleyes:

But all things considered, I think this site would be much better off to shed itself of this person entirely.
 
Rich... You're to funny! Poor Elizabeth probably had a melt down. I swear some people have a few to many screws loose!
 
Maybe if someone actually crushes her legs she can afford to pay for the snakes she's scamming by using the disability money?

That sounds threatening and despicable. There are ways to deal with her without falling to her level.
 
It was a joke based on the facts of the scam. She's claiming to have had her legs crushed at work and therefore living on a disability budget and can only afford 'low quality pastels.' I'm really getting negative rep for that? Did my post seriously read as if I was honestly advocating or threatening physical retaliation?

Come on now... save your neg repping for the real bad guys.
